Whitefish Woody Weekend at the Lodge at Whitefish Lake on June 26-28 was a marvelous success despite frequent rain.
There were 42 beautiful classic boats from all over the pacific northwest and Illinois, 13 of which were new to Whitefish Woody Weekend. These boats represented 15 different manufacturers and seven different chapters of the Antique and Classic Boat Society. Twenty of the participants came to the show from outside the Flathead Valley.
The Best Time award went to Owen and Derek Bronken in Red White and Brut. The Commodore's Award was given to Jake and Mary Amsbaugh who traveled all the way from Sterling, Illinois with their 1941 Chris Craft bareback Lambchop, to participate in the show. The Chris Craft Antique Boat Club awarded the Stewardship award to AtLast!, a 1941 Chris Craft Cruser owned by Tim and Merrie Ford from Bigfork.
It was a big day for Miss Montana, a 1954 Stan Craft Torpedo owned by Ken and Jo Cook of Polson who took home both the Captain's Choice Award, voted on by the boat owners, and the People's Choice Award, voted on by the public. Miss Montana also won the best hand award.
